1. A control cam for controlling a position of clamping arms of a clamping device that are pivotable relative to one another, comprising:
a shaft portion configured to pivotably mount the control cam about a control cam pivot axis in a hub portion of a carrier plate of the clamping device; and
a first coupling element comprising:
a first coupling face that extends in a direction of the control cam pivot axis and is configured to transmit a first switching force onto one of the clamping arms, and
a second coupling face that is different from the first coupling face, extends in the direction of the control cam pivot axis, and is configured to transmit a second switching force that is directed opposite the first switching force onto the one of the clamping arms,
wherein the control cam is pivotable about the control cam pivot axis between a predefined open position and a predefined closed position.
